L’area è stata chiusa al traffico tra Edlingham Street e North Queen Street e alcune case sono state evacuate.
Un ventisettenne è stato arrestato dalla polizia.
La PSNI riferisce che “una pipe bomb funzionante è stata esaminata dagli artificieri e adesso è stata portata via per ulteriori esami.
“Abbiamo appreso che l’ordigno è stato lanciato contro un’autovettura parcheggiata intorno alle 11 di mattina ma non è detonata”.
